Thanks for your explanation. This play may better explain the logic.
Ks’ ball, 4th and 12 on R’s 45-yard line. R1 holds K2 at R’s 48-yard line. K8’s punt is in flight near the 50 yard line when an inadvertent whistle is blown.
If PSK were the enforcement spot, K would be forced to decline a foul in order to replay the down. Why not just add inadvertent whistle to the PSK definition or at very least an explanation in the case book on this play?
